In the winter, being tucked against the Continental Divide ensures dependable snow. Skiers are happy between two downhill resorts, with learn-to-ski-and-ride parks for those learning and Mary Jane sized moguls meant for the die hards, and four cross-country resorts with plentiful groomed tracks. Families love slipping, sliding and gliding on the four tubing hills and numerous skating rinks, which vouches for our family-friendly activities.

In the summer, the hikers and bikers have over 600 miles of trails to explore, dubbing the area Mountain Bike Capital USA™, and for good reason. The list of other summer fun ranges from rafting, fishing, golfing, horseback riding and an all time favorite with kids of all ages… the longest alpine slide in Colorado. With over 200 exciting events, from marquee music festivals to run, bike and skate events, there’s plenty of good times to be had by all.
